  • Publication number: 20060051604
    Abstract: A multilayer laser transfer film for permanently inscribing parts made from at least one backing layer, where on at least part of the underside of the backing layer there is a first adhesion layer, characterized in that, on the backing-layer side of the laser transfer film, this being the location of the first adhesion layer, there are at least two pigment layers, preferably a first pigment layer applied to at least part of the material and comprising at least one glass flux pigment, and a second pigment layer applied to at least part of the material and comprising at least one laser-sensitive pigment.

  • Patent number: 6953206
    Abstract: The invention relates to an inscribable security film, in particular for use in the automotive sector, and to a method for inscribing it. The security film contains an identification medium which is capable of diffusion and is locally liberated or fixed selectively by means of a contactless inscription process. If the security film is adhesively bonded to a substrate, the identification medium causes permanent marking of the substrate, which ensures unambiguous identification of the object in question.

  • Publication number: 20040209086
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing a laser-printable film (1). According to the inventive method, an engraving layer (11) comprising a UV-cured coating is printed onto a support film (10). A base layer (14) that comprises an electron-beam cured coating is applied on top of the engraving layer (11). The film is then cured by electron irradiation.

  • Publication number: 20040046383
    Abstract: In order to transmit printed information with security against misuse, the information is provided by means of a flat carrier which is fixed to a substrate by an adhesive and which, because of a lower cohesive force than the adhesive force of the adhesive, is split when pulled off. In this case, the information can be applied to that surface of the carrier which is not provided with the adhesive or can be covered by the carrier stuck on.
